The Steady Hand

Golfers who identify as Steady Hands tend to value reliability, confidence, and clubs that help the game feel manageable. They’re less interested in perfection than they are in staying in play and enjoying the round without unnecessary stress.

The examples shown here reflect designs that support that approach - chosen for consistency, ease of use, and honest performance rather than promises of transformation.

Steady Hands are typically suited to clubs that offer:

  • predictable, repeatable performance

  • forgiveness that reduces poor outcomes without masking feel

  • confidence at address, particularly in longer irons

  • designs that prioritise playability over precision

  • consistency across a wide range of strikes

For these golfers, the right equipment removes pressure rather than adding expectation.

Tommy Armour 845s Irons (Late 1980s–1990s)


Designed to make the game more approachable without resorting to extremes. These offer a generous profile, easy launch characteristics, and a feel that remains reassuring across the set.

Often chosen by Steady Hands looking for clubs that quietly do their job round after round.

Condition: played, well maintained, and intended for continued use.

Ping Eye 2 Irons (1980s–1990s)


A forgiving, confidence-inspiring design that remains relevant decades after its release. Perimeter weighting and thoughtful shaping help keep the ball in play while still offering enough feedback to learn from.

Well suited to Steady Hands who want reliability without feeling disconnected from the strike.

Condition: played, with honest wear consistent with age and regular use.

Availability changes regularly. The sets shown here are current examples of designs that tend to suit Steady Hands — not a complete picture of what may work.

Where appropriate, we can often suggest comparable alternatives that follow the same principles, even when specific sets move on.
